-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup pecan pieces -- toasted and cooled
1/2 cup unsalted butter -- (1 stick), cut into 12 pieces
6 ounces cold blue cheese -- crumbled or cut into small pieces
1 egg -- separated
Put flour in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add pecans
and pulse until pecans are finely chopped. Add butter and blue cheese
and pulse until a mix of pea-sized lumps and sandy crumbs forms. Add
egg yolk and pulse again just until dough comes together.
Scrape dough onto a large sheet of wax paper and press. Cut dough
into halves and form each piece into a 10" log. Wrap in wax paper and
freeze until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375F. Cover 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
Cut logs into 1/4" thick slices and arrange about 1/2" apart on the
baking sheets. Lightly beat egg white and brush on tops of crackers.
Prick with a fork. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Let
cool. Store in an airtight container.
Makes 5 to 6 dozen.
